Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
35 years
What is your primary product or service?
We offer a variety of yoga with a focus on personal attention and helping with individual needs.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
The way I felt physically and mentally after practicing yoga but some spiritual component really got my attention too.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We do cater to 'the baby booming" population as we are part of that. We like to have balanced clasees where there is a strong physical component but the relaxation is just as important. We probably do more restorative yoga than most studios.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We are in one location but we do have two beautiful fully equipped studios with lots of props, big windows and it's very quiet and peaceful. We have lots of free parking too.
Provide detailed directions to your location
449 Forest Ave is the shopping plaze near Baxter Boulevard with CVS and Burger King. Go through the doors in the middle of the plaza, up the stairs (there is an elevator, too) to the left. We have the first two studios on the right.
What type of payments do you accept?
Presently just cash and check.
Which areas do you service?
Greater Portland and anyone willing to come to us
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Jennifer Cooper and Vickie Labbe
What are your hours of operation?
We have classes Mon-Sat 6am, 9:30, 10:30, noon, 3:30, 4:30, 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30 on different days
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
"I have taken Yoga in many different locations and your classes have been the best. Attention to detail, personal needs met, clear instruction and caring." Carolyn.
Judith said she almost cried during savasana and felt like she was " held, protected and loved"
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
Ring the bells that still can ring;
Forget your perfect offering;
There is a crack in everything;
That's how the light gets in; That's how the light gets in; Leonard Cohen
